    So my HD audio has just completely stopped working for no apparent reason. I'm at a friends house and everything was completely fine until I shut my laptop off and got back on later then after that just plain old boring audio. I thought it might have been the driver so I uninstalled the driver and installed the latest one off of the Realtek website and still the same problem. So I installed the Realteak ALC665 (driver used when I had my last problem with the audio) and it did exactly what it did before which was that there was no sound out at all and this leads me to believe that it is a driver problem. Still not sure what to do all help is greatly appreciated
